...talk this over like two sober human beings?" The hunter lowered his gun. "What's to talk over?" he asked. "Well," said the bear, "what do you want to shoot me for?"

By 1948 he had half a dozen offices throughout the country but was still an ordinary public relations man practicing "his brand" of public services. In September of 1948 a friend invited him to breakfast to discuss a job as trouble shooter for the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. When the friend's secretary called the next day to ask if Mr. Miller "had gotten his shots," he was understandably surprised. The breakfast was to be in Bangkok, Siam. Since then, he has worked...
